Abstract: The rate of horizontal diffusivity or lateral dispersion is key to understanding the dispersion of tracers and contaminants in the ocean, and it is an elusive, yet crucial, parameter in numerical models of circulation. ...

Abstract: A meridional transect along 150°W in March 1988 revealed a statistically significant maximum in turbulent kinetic energy dissipation, ? at 1°S?0° between 40-m and 60-m depth. The wind stress and buoyancy flux were poorly ...
